Cordilura albipes Fallén, 1819

Quite a small and distinctive species which has the legs, sides of the thorax and abdomen a pale creamy yellow colour contrasting with the shining black thoracic dorsum, although paler specimens with little or no black markings occur. This does not look like other Cordilura species and is superficially more similar to a Parallelomma and has been classified in this genus in the past (e.g. Collin, 1958[1]). Wing length: ♂ 3.6 - 4.3 - 4.9 mm (11); ♀ 4.0 - 4.7 - 5.2 mm (10).
